Giant Size X-Men plus the beginning of Claremont’s run is a seminal moment for the X-Men, introducing beloved characters and sewing the seeds of the Dark Phoenix saga. While the stories are a little dated and pale in comparison to the comics they inspire, they still are a lot of fun to read.

Strong intro to the new team. My immediate reaction is that they all seem so fully formed right from the start. It was interesting to read these issues back-to-back with the original 20 issues of X-men. The original team took so long to develop into clear individuals and lacked depth. Their stories had no punch or momentum whereas these characters hit the ground running. It's easy to see why this became such a huge series.
